THE GENOCIDE OF THE GERMANS IN POLAND – 1939 GURU DEV TEELUCKDHARRY MBA, University of Leicester, England ABSTRACT This paper shows how the genocide of the Germans in Poland such as the Danzig and Broomberg Bloody Sunday played a role in causing the Second World War. It critically analyzes this dark episode of history prior to the Holocaust that was censored by many historians. It debates on the reasons that pushed Adolf Hitler (of Jewish descent) to trigger the Second World War by invading Poland. It also shows that Winston Churchill (of Jewish descent) was as dangerous as Adolf Hitler and could have prevented the Second World War and eventually the Holocaust. This paper also delves into the historical hypothesis: ‘Could Adolf Hitler have been different?’ KEYWORDS: Danzig, Broomberg Bloody Sunday, Second World War, Adolf Hitler & Holocaust

INTRODUCTION The Danzig and Broomberg Bloody Sunday massacres of 1939, a few months before Germany invaded Poland on September 1, 1939, are among the most tragic events in human history. Of course, we don't talk about it anymore.

Original Article

'Hitler doesn't want war, but he will be forced into it, soon. The last word has, as in 1914, England.' - Emil Ludwig,

(POLAND'S CENSORED HOLOCAUST, 2010). Moreover, very few historians dare to present the truth as it is concerning these barbaric and atrocious crimes against humanity. However, it was from there that everything started and everything exploded. One could even qualify this genocide in Poland where 58,000 Germans (of the Volksgenossen ethnicity) were massacred without mercy, as a major incident which caused the Second World War in 1939 and then the Holocaust in 1941 where more than 5,000,000 Jews were killed and exterminated by Adolf Hitler. Long before this tragedy, the persecution of the German community (of the Volksgenossen ethnic group) in Poland was already underway. In fact, the genocide of the Germans in Poland was only a straw that broke the camel's back. In retaliation, Germany launched an attack on September 3, 1939 on Poland and on September 19, 1939, Adolf Hitler made the following speech: ‘…Danzig was torn from us! Poland annexed the Corridor. The German minorities are being persecuted in the vilest manner imaginable. In the years 1919 and 1920, over one million men of German blood were forced to leave their homeland. As always, I sought to bring about a change by peaceful means, by offering proposals…to remedy this situation which meanwhile had become unbearable…Polish units stand in contrast to the dirtiest deeds perhaps committed throughout the past centuries. As a soldier in the World War who fought only in the West…I never had the opportunity to witness such deeds…the thousands of slaughtered Volksgenossen…the brutishly butchered women, girls and children…the countless German
